If you have a 95 and older go to fordfuelinjection.com and follow the link "How to run a self-test". You only need to ground out the single lead and count the flashes in the truck. If your CEL light does not work, you can use a test light or meter, but I recommend fixing the bulb.
As for OBD II in the 96 and newer vehicles, I'm not certain.
I may check out the test feature mentioned earlier, but will likely get a good scanner/code reader.

Yes, it should be a 3 digit code. Sometimes you can also find out what the codes are by doing a google search online. I have had to do this when I didn't have the correct manual.

Would they have posted it, if it was a farce?
OH YEAH! Sometimes I just love working for a Ford Dealership, in conversation today with a technician I mentioned I was buying a code reader for my 94', about an hour later he hands me, free of charge, a Rotunda/Ford Code reader for EEC-IV!!!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
This is NOT mine but looks just like it!

Wasn't like he was expounding some little know secret. At best it was a reiteration of another post. It was just an excuse to post his solicitation for business. Like his other post on another thread under this Forum section:"I like your dog. I bet he/she likes riding in your truck!" But I figure it must be w/ the moderators blessings, so that's all I had to say was,"Really?" (I know, hard to believe) The guy's trying to make an honest living. A little annoying, but times are tuff, and he is "Thinkin outa da box!"with his advertising ploy. On the Scanner, you really scored. That's the real McCoy. Good for you!
